The New Demigods

The Saturday I was going to go to New York to learn more about the whole "demigod" situation, something I still did not completely believe, with two interesting characters named Annabeth Chase and Percy Jackson. That was…. postponed? Elle didn't tell me that there was a bunch of monsters in the back of the DA building used for training. And let me tell you, there were a LOT of monsters. She also neglected to tell me that she was having my watch examined to see if it was safe for me to use. So there I am at 8:00 in the morning trying to find a restroom, in nothing but a pair of boxers and bunny slippers, and then I walk into the training room.
You can imagine my surprise as I open a door I assumed to be the restroom door, closing, and locking, it behind me, and finding myself locked in with an Empousa. For those of you that don't know, think of a vampire with a bronze pirate leg and there you go!
This specific Empousa had not eaten in a couple days and decided that I would make a good snack. If I can remember correctly, I yelled like a little girl and started smacking at it with my bare hands. A little heads up, vampire chicks don't like being smacked a whole bunch by a screaming 13 year old boy at 8:10 in the morning. What a surprise!
After about an hour of that, I figured out that they like to carry throwing knives in places I choose not to say. She missed a couple times, but then she hit me right in the shoulder. And DAM that hurt! But at least I had weapons to fight back with. One lucky throw with my bad arm hit her square in the head. She, like the hobo Minotaur thing, turned into dust. The next thing I know, a boy a little bit older then me appeared out of the shadows and congratulated me on my kill. Apparently killing is big to these people.
Turns out, his name is Jonas Di Angelo and he is the brother to Nico Di Angelo. And, unknown to me, he has the ability to morph into the shadows to move around. Anyway, he got me to the infirmary with his magical powers. Elle was there fixing some guy with a nasty cut along his face that I decided not to ask about. She fixed my shoulder up faster then I could even complain about it. And, unfortunately, injuries are against regulation of flying for Delta. So we have to wait another week before we get to go.
I made a new friend though. Jonas offered to get Elle and I there by shadow travel so that we could be fixed up by Camp Half Blood's best medic Will Solace. But, and I promise you these are her exact worlds, Elle said,"Are you serious Jonas? Do you see his shoulder? I'm going to have to make sure he doesn't leave so I can keep looking at him half naked! I mean, um, examine him to make sure that the Empousa didn't poison him?" Jonas left with a weird look on his face. And boy wish that I could have left too! But Elle found some restrainers they use when a mortal freaks out over something that they saw through the mist, and tied me up so that I couldn't leave. Not even Leo Valdez could have broken these things!

Notes

Will Elle and James ever get to Camp Half Blood?
Will Elle say more things that make James really want to lock himself back up with the Empousa?
